Ready, E Set, GO!

This is how we were feeling this week with the first days of school coming. (I love the way the girls twist phrases a bit... this is one of Maggie's... E set, instead of get set). So they were ready. They were set, and they went. And they loved it! They really, really loved it. All of them. So far (knock on wood) we have had no tears. Maura hopped in the car chatting non-stop about her day and the story her teacher read her. She paused long enough to let me get from her door to mine.

Too darn cute...

This is something I say a lot, but this time it was oh so true. The girls walked down the aisle hand in hand at Colleen and Dave's wedding looking so sweet and so innocent and so perfect and of course, so darn cute.

During the hour and a half rehearsal Mags had a little meltdown towards the end and got to come up on the altar with me during the practice vows. i thought she might remember that at the real wedding and decide it would be cool to get "up on stage." but no, she did great. They all did great.

My parents were amazing helpers all weekend. My dad even came out to party on Friday. My mom was in charge of the kids at the mass. They were great. The girls had a ball at the reception and really did not want to leave. I was feeling guilty about making them leave (at 9:45 mind you), but that guilt quickly went away when Sean and I hit the dance floor... whoo hoo!

Colleen and Dave looked like they thoroughly enjoyed every minute, and the whole thing went off without a problem. I have to admit, it took me a few days to recover from two late nights, but it was well worth it.
